More than a hundred homes around the Houston area were damaged after a tornado touched down on Monday, Nov. 24, days before the Thanksgiving holiday.
According to the National Weather Service's Houston office, one confirmed tornado went through parts of Harris County, which includes Houston, on the afternoon of Nov. 24. Its intensity has not yet been rated.
A second unconfirmed tornado over parts of the Austin and Waller counties on the same day is also being investigated. Survey teams are heading to both sites on Nov. 25, NWS said.
Based on early reports, more than 100 homes in Harris County's Memorial Northwest neighborhoods were damaged in the event, Mark Herman, constable of Harris County Precinct 4, said in a statement on Nov. 24.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said in a social media statement that there have been no reported injuries from the tornado.
"So far, confirmed damage includes rooftop damages to residential structures, several collapses of commercial structures, and multiple trees down across the area," the statement said.
